Quote from Mlives John Gonzales in his article "Michigan's 25 coolest, tastiest small towns" Sept. 21, 2017
"If you had to pick one restaurant from all of your Michigan's Best adventures, which one would you recommend?" That's a question we get, often, and Amy Sherman and I always respond in unison: "Lula's!" Located in Owosso, a Shiawassee County town with a population about 15,000, Lula's Louisiana Cookhouse is home to our winner for Michigan's Best Fried Chicken. Owner John Beilfuss and his wife Morgan have spent a lifetime perfecting recipes in what might be Michigan's top "all from scratch" restaurant. And it's in Owosso. Whether it's famous fried chicken, which he tops with a bacon cream gravy or the Bayou Fried Rice, EVERYTHING is so good. See the full menu at lulascookhouse.com.
flavor from scratch
Every plate is flavor forward, our cuisine is rustic, plentiful and not spicy unless you ask for it to be. Everything is made from scratch, to order. Our hams are cured and smoked in house as is our bacon, sausages, smoked turkey...everything. French bread is baked every morning, sauces, dressings, all housemade. Everything.

BBQ and Charcuterie!
Our BBQ, is smoked out back daily and when its gone its gone until tomorrow! Our Texas style Beef Brisket smokes for over 22 hours! That why it all tastes so good and fresh, because it is! In addition to our Texas Brisket, and Pulled pork we rotate daily specials including our “Ondaway Chicken” Alabama style smoked chicken, Kalua Pork, Jerk Pork, Jerk Chicken, Cuban “Christmas Pig, St. Louis BBQ Pork Steaks, and huge variety of house made smoked sausages and many more!
We cure, smoke, and dry all of our own meats, using old world methods to achieve modern flavors. Sometimes we run out. If we get a run on ham or corned beef for instance we can't call a supplier, or run to the store, its a ten day process before we can have more ready!
